Neurophysiological, brain imaging, and perceptual studies in animals and humans suggest that illusory (occluding) contours are represented at an early level of visual cortical processing. Hawken MJ, Parker AJ (1987) Spatial properties of neurons in monkey striate cortex. A discerning feature of simple cells is that their responses display orientation and positional selectivity. Ramachandran VS, Anstis S (1986) Figure-ground segregation modulates apparent motion. Existing techniques for extracting video objects are based on inverse optics, where three-dimensional objects are mapped to a two dimensional image. The high degree of specialization in monkey V2 for the processing of illusory contours may be linked to Correspondence: G.A. Simple cells have smaller receptive fields, that are able only to receive simple signals from a fairly small amount of fibres, whilst hyper-complex cells have larger receptive fields that respond to more specific stimuli, such as moving bars of light of correct orientation, width and length. One approach to studying the possible involvement of early visual cortical areas is to use low (subthreshold) contrasts (the real lines are invisible). Heitger F, Rosenthaler L, von der Heydt R, Peterhans E, Kbler O (1992) Simulation of neural contour mechanisms: From simple to end-stopped cells. Binocular disparity can give rise to the perception of open surfaces or closed curved surfaces (volumes) that appear to vary smoothly across discrete depths. J Neurosci 9: 17491763. [10] Accordingly, the terms simple end-stopped and complex end-stopped were introduced in lieu of the hypercomplex cell. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-80294-2_26, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-80294-2_26, Publisher Name: Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.

For instance, a cell stopped at the right end (i.e. Hypercomplex cells are sensitive to corners, curvature, or to sudden breaks in straight images.

(1984) tried to draw a clear distinction between the stimulus-response relationship, on the one hand, and perceived entities, on the other. Springer, Berlin, pp. There are several systems that describe the early stages of visual contour processing up to the level of complex cell responses; only few models describe even end-stopped cells. Illusory contour's (subjective contours) are contours perceived in the absence of a lightness or colour difference as in the Kanizsa figure. Connecting receptive fields arranged in a line (Bar detector), Complex cell in build of a few simple cells. Versuche iiber die Beziehungen zwischen Bewegungs- und Gestalt- Wahrnehmung.Zeitschrift fur Psychologies 95: 305352, 1924. [13] The visual processing cells in the cortex respond very poorly to diffuse light but optimally to lines. A classic example of illusory contours is the Kanizsa triangle ( Kanizsa 1955 ). This receptive field would be described as stopped at one end (i.e. This decomposition is useful in detecting significant features such as step and line edges at different scales and orientations in the image.

Subsequently, hypercomplex cells were no longer recognized as a distinct class but rather a subtype of simple and complex cells. By 1968, Geoffrey Henry and Bogdan Dreher discovered simple and complex cells with end-stopping properties. CrossRef A contrast- and luminance-driven multiscale network model of brightness perception.Vis. The neural signals originating in the ON- and OFF-center retinal ganglion cells remain segregated in the retina and the LGN, then merge completely in the complex cells in primary visual cortex (V1). Landy, M.S., & Movshon, J.A. Illusory contours (or subjective contours) are perceptual edges that exist because of edge completion but are not actually physically present. Lines of pattern discontinuity. Hypercoplex cells in the cat's striate cortex. Hubel and Wiesel began recording cells in the cortex while presenting spots of light as stimuli.

Lourens T (1998) A biologically plausible model for corner-based object recognition from color images. In 1968, Geoffrey Henry and Bogdan Dreher discovered simple and complex cells in Brodmann area 17 that exhibited end-stopping properties. 96-108, Jan. 1993. Neural Networks, vol. 1, partitions the BCS model into three levels: simple cells; complex and hypercomplex cells; and bipole cells. The majority of these neurons showed this property independent stimulus contrast; a small minority preferred a certain combination of figure-ground direction and contrast polarity at these contours. Although some have described these findings as the discovery of "illusory contour cells", von der Heydt et al. Trends Neurosci 12: 292296. Petry S, Meyer GE (1987) The Perception of Illusory Contours. Illusory contour's (subjective contours) are contours perceived in the absence of a lightness or colour difference as in the Kanizsa figure. - 5.189.131.62. Upon discovery, hypercomplex cells were defined as, all cells that exceed complex cells in intricacy of behavior.[7] Hypercomplex cells displayed selectivity akin to complex cells, responding to moving a stimulus of a specific orientation in a specific direction.

[2][3], Hubel and Wiesel would later call this cell a complex cell, incorporating it into a hierarchy of subsequently discovered visual processing cells, which included the centre-surround, simple, complex, and hypercomplex cells (distinguishable by receptive fields) [4], Following their initial finding, Hubel and Wiesel discovered the presence of a variety of visual processing cells, each with unique receptive field properties. The optic disc or Lateral Geniculate Nucleus. contour interaction See Glasgow acuity cards; crowding phenomenon. A type of cell in the primary visual cortex (Area V1) that is similar to a simple cell or a complex cell except that it has an end-stopped receptive field, ceasing to fire if the line, edge, or bar that excites it exceeds a certain length. volume10,pages 195211 (2001)Cite this article.

Part of Springer Nature. Receptive field organization of simple and complex cells. Accordingly, simple cell receptive fields exist in a variety of different geometries and sizes for all possible orientation and positions in the visual field. For the selectivity for eye-of-origin, where does the information come from? Gerbino W, Kanizsa G (1987) Can we see constructs? Top-down feedback interactions are needed in addition to bottom-up feedforward interactions to simulate these data. 1996. L. Pessoa, E. Mingolla, and H. Neumann. J Physiol (Lond) 160: 106154. Thus, the mechanism of focusing on edges to translate activation into perception is an efficient use of neural resources. A hypercomplex cell (currently called an end-stopped cell) is a type of visual processing neuron in the mammalian cerebral cortex. Lesher and E. Mingolla. 111-124.

Initially discovered by David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel in 1965, hypercomplex cells are defined by the property of end-stopping, which is a decrease in firing strength with increasingly larger stimuli. Illusory contours may have already formed before the inducer orientation information is crowded out. contour interaction See Glasgow acuity cards; crowding phenomenon.

In addition to Hubel and Wiesel's wiring schemes, multiple alternative and complementary architectures have been put forth to explain the receptive fields of simple and complex cells: By 1965, the next cell type in Hubel and Wiesels hierarchy of visual processing, the hypercomplex cell, was found within Brodmann areas 18 and 19.
